The Hidden Benefit of ‘Godzilla Minus One’: Understanding Budgets and Costs Imposed by organized labor and anti-capitalist Activities

There is another essential attribute of the new Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One, at the heart of the global populist movement that is important to talk about.  Probably the most important thing in the world that has lingered always in the background and is now apparent for all to see.  In talking about how good Godzilla Minus One is, the obvious question everyone has is how could Japan produce a movie like this when the same kind of blockbuster produced by Disney in America would cost 300 million dollars.  The average moviegoer could watch Godzilla Minus One, Indiana Jones, and the Dial of Destiny and think they are of the same quality in every category: acting, special effects, music, writing, scale of production, everything.  So how was Godzilla Minus One so profitable, whereas all the current Hollywood productions or movies anywhere in the world these days, especially where the financial influence of the World Economic Forum has its hands in the production, are not able to compete?  Well, this is something I have been talking about for many decades and I said this was going to happen to the film industry for many years.  Unionized labor has destroyed the financial models of movie production, shown dramatically when a foreign film like Godzilla Minus One is shown in a movie theater along with the latest blockbusters produced by Hollywood and other markets.  Because of many market conditions unique to recovery from COVID lockdowns, theater owners are desperate to show anything that the public might want to see.  Just two or three years ago, a movie like Godzilla Minus One would not have played in a movie theater in the United States.  People would never see it, but in today’s market, where Hollywood products can’t keep up with demand, a movie like Godzilla Minus One gets a chance to be seen, which has burst down the door to an issue that can only be revealed by direct competition.   

Much of the way we are told about success in the world has been shaped by labor unions attached to the film industry, the mainstream media, and government reporting.  The ultimate solution to broken budgets and general performance everywhere in the world, no matter the product, is to make labor unions illegal, especially in government work and situations that prevent a competitive environment.  America has gone through just this sort of thing when it comes to the car industry, or most sectors of manufacturing that can’t compete with cheap foreign labor.  Well, it is not that the labor is cheap in foreign markets, but instead that the communist labor unions, all of which were formed out of elements of Marxism, have driven up the cost of labor not just in the increases in headcount but in how much each one actually costs.  When the government reports the numbers, as they do in American and European markets, of course, they will give a spin that suits them, not necessarily one that is reflected in reality.  Then, when the trade journals are either in unions themselves or are very sympathetic, the coverage has been how much studios spend on movies to make, not on their quality.  This has certainly been the case with Disney where to satisfy their radical employee base, all connected to labor unions, the approach has been to just outrun the costs, which have crippled them in 2023.  When it costs 500 million dollars to get a blockbuster out the door and into a theater, disaster is not far behind.  For a lot of these Hollywood productions, a movie budget to satisfy all the labor demands that you see at the end credits of every motion picture, 200-300 million on actually making the movie, then another 200 million in marketing to feed the machine, a film has to make a billion dollars at the box office to get into a profit category, and that just isn’t realistic, as Disney has discovered in 2023. 

Then, to make matters worse, these Disney movies have been loaded with content people don’t want to see.  The filmmaking has been lazy, and the product is lackluster when it gets to the screen.  It shows when all the people making the movie are only in it to get paid.  A film like Godzilla Minus One was created by hungry filmmakers full of passion, evident in what ended up on the screen, shocking many people.  But this is the exact reason why government reforms never happen and why budgets get wrecked in all production environments where Marxist labor unions have driven up costs and taken away the ambition of good merit from the products they produce, such as in public education in America that has become useless to most people for all the same reasons.  The labor costs too much and doesn’t do enough of what it’s supposed to.  When labor unions take over the management of an endeavor, they determine the pay rate and how many people need to be involved in the process, which then blows up all the financial attributes.  In a situation like this, where a side-by-side comparison isn’t usually available, the problem becomes apparent in the movie industry.  But this same rot is in just about every endeavor that involves money and financing, even in American intelligence agencies.  I will have some serious horror stories to provide about the CDC and how President Reagan was thinking of cutting the entire department, giving rise to Dr. Fauci’s radicalism.  Most bad things happen when lazy people seek funding not based on performance but emotion, such as fear of a new virus that can be manufactured in a lab and released from Wuhan, China.  That’s a topic all its own. 

The trick in hiding all this from the public has been to control the narrative, and the labor unions have been attached to most of the reporting.  But in 2023, because the declining Hollywood product has most abused theater owners, they have had to turn to direct competition to survive, which has set up this obvious matchup.  The same occurred when the Japanese entered the car market, and the Big Three in America found they could not compete in cost and quality because unionized labor took away competitive factors that could keep the costs down for the consumer.  Most of the problems in the world, including the CRs that Speaker Johnson is trying to work through Congress to keep the government open, are due to the outrageous costs of supporting all those expensive government employees.  Even the funding of Ukraine, which has been a topic, is to spend billions of dollars to pay for the massive administrative state government there to support this globalist employment structure.  All of them are failing under their weight; what they do for the world isn’t worth the money it costs to keep them.  Populism is rising everywhere because people would rather see Godzilla Minus One than the latest holiday offering by Disney and the other major studios.  The labor unions seek to destroy competition to justify their outrageous costs and sluggish performance.  But because of their actions, they have forced competition to overtake them to satisfy the market demands of a hungry public that wants to see a good movie, buy a nice car, or have a government that works for them and doesn’t get in the way of what society needs.  I know we are in a time when union supporters are moving toward Trump, and Trump is pro-union, and it’s not as much of a political issue for Republicans as it has been or should be.  But when you want to know why things are so expensive, why so many useless people perform the work, and how they keep their jobs underperforming constantly, the source is the Marxist labor unions that have embedded themselves in the process.  Where they aren’t, the quality and profit improve dramatically.  And if we are ever going to drain the swamp, the government unions will have to be made illegal.  And any future budget controls taken out of their hands, from the local public school to the control of the FBI and CIA.  Organized labor has destroyed them all.

‘Godzilla Minus One’: The best movie in the world

Simply stunning

Before you think to yourself, oh, there are so many things going on in the world, why do I care about a movie review for a new Godzilla movie? Well, this is something different, this Godzilla Minus One movie. It makes quite a statement, and it is currently destroying the rest of the films being produced in the world, from Bollywood to Hollywood, all places where the World Economic Forum financing has influenced movie content. I’ve been asked several times this year why I’m not out there producing and making movies, as I have wanted to most of my life. And my explanation was that the whole machine is messed up, it costs too much for unionized labor, so the budgets are wrecked. To get funding for the movies, you must have progressive messages in them. The entertainment media has been filled with more progressive political activists who set limits as to the kind of messages that get out to the public, and the theater owners’ associations are often too sensitive to all these politics to back releases. But then there are times when the market is desperate, theater owners are drowning for good content and Hollywood hasn’t given them the kind of movies that people want to see. Online streaming content is eroding the enthusiasm for in-theater distribution. So a foreign film like Godzilla Minus One gets made under the radar and gets into theaters with great passion and enthusiasm, and people get surprised. This is exactly what Godzilla Minus One is: a magnificent surprise, and what I think is the best movie in the world presently, and certainly one of the best to come along in recent memory. On a budget of only 15 million dollars, it’s everything a movie should be, and audiences are reacting to it in very positive ways, for good reason.

I wasn’t exactly planning to see the movie in theaters, I was going to catch it on Apple+ or whatever streaming service was carrying it around Christmas time.  But my grandchildren love Godzilla; it’s been a big part of their childhoods. They were talking to me about the new Godzilla/King Kong movie by Legendary Studios coming out in 2024, probably in March, and they were very excited about it.  That’s when I said, “Well, you know, kids, there is a Godzilla movie playing at Liberty Center right now.  Do you guys want to go see it?”  And I was surprised that my oldest grandson knew everything about it, and yes!  He wanted to see it right away.  So off we went to watch a movie that I thought might have some cool monsters in it.  But it would be filled with subtitles, and I didn’t know if they’d like it much.  But, being Godzilla fans, they could at least say they saw it.  Well………………what a surprise we were in for.  This wasn’t just a great movie, it was a masterpiece.  It reminded me of the many past films I have loved, particularly Yojimbo, the great Akira Kurasawa classic.  This wasn’t just a movie about Godzilla destroying Tokyo once again.  This was a very emotional film about the state of the world and the perseverance of human civilization to overcome the mistakes of governments and live their lives honorably, nobly, and without fear.  Godzilla served as the device that brought this out in people and it was Biblical in scope and magnificent in its execution.  When the movie ended, I just sat there, stunned by what I had just witnessed.  My grandchildren were thrilled, of course, but this was undoubtedly a benchmark in history that I fully realized.  Wow!

Now, I get to go to Japan, and I like to share as much of that experience with my family as possible.  I love Western culture for all its variety, but I love going to Japan because the Japanese are honorable people with self-confidence and a spirit of perseverance.  No matter how many different people I interact with from Japan, that is a foundation assumption about them.  When I need to go to the grocery store to get food and snacks while traveling, the people I deal with bow deeply when doing business and treat the meeting like it’s the most important thing they’ll ever do.  Even at the airports, everyone you deal with is highly respectful.  Walking around Tokyo or any big city, there is no crime, and everything is spotless.  The world could learn a lot from their culture, which I talk about occasionally.  Japan is a good country with good people who are persistent and honorable.  And I enjoy dealing with them on their turf.  Godzilla Minus One is a uniquely Japanese film about their culture and the value of honor as an individual.  The entire point of the movie was about living up to honorable expectations and being a good person, which has been missing so much from all modern movies filled with progressive political messages imposed by the influence of the World Economic Forum.  All that was removed entirely from Godzilla Minus One, and the film had a wonderful sense of freedom that was jaw-dropping in its relief.  I didn’t care that the entire movie was in subtitles.  It was delightful to watch. 

The main character is a Kamikaze pilot who lacked the killer instinct to fulfill his mission, so he ducked out of a fight just as the war ended.  He felt tremendous guilt about this, and it haunted him deeply.  In the aftermath of the war, he ends up moving in with a young lady and her adopted little girl, all war orphans.  None of them are related.  But the girl and the guy sleep in the same house but in separate beds.  And there is no sex.  They lived like this for over three years.  That’s not to say there wasn’t love; they grew to love each other deeply.  But no sex.  In a World Economic Forum-financed film, the girl would have left the guy after three months of no sex, which would have been the dumb plot of the entire movie.  Godzilla Minus One is about much more than sex and relationship problems.  It’s about overcoming self-doubt, becoming great, and earning the right to lead a family by conquering personal demons.  This was great stuff; people lost in the world are soaking up this message like a dry sponge.  And you know what’s best about the film?  The filmmakers had the guts to give it a happy ending, a real happy ending in every way that an audience could hope for.  The movie is undoubtedly about Godzilla, but he served almost like a godly figure, much like Job’s story from the Bible.  Without Godzilla, Job would have had no reference point.  But because of that reference, greatness had an opportunity to grow, and it brought people together as individuals to achieve beautiful things.  What a great message in a world filled with failure.  Along comes this little ray of light that is turning out to light the way for the world in ways nobody thought was possible.  Yet, there it is.  I can’t recommend it enough!

The 19 Different Species of Aliens Who Work with Earth Governments: American intelligence agencies do not work for us, they work for them

I have not been cancel cultured out of existence over the last thirty years because there are many things I do that people want and, in many ways, are much more valuable than gold. One of those things is process improvement and troubleshooting cause and corrective actions. I have a very deep background in Lean Manufacturing, and I often take it way beyond the sensei masters who travel the globe as consultants, and that’s very unique in the marketplace and extremely valuable. But I can’t turn off those skills just because of American intelligence, and actually, global governments hiding behind a façade of spy networks desire to keep all humanity locked behind a veil they have created with secret societies and various religions for complete control over the human race, as just another cog in the wheel of an adored aristocracy. Just before Christmas in 2022, the Biden administration refused to release the evidence of who killed JFK. Mike Pompeo, who I have met and spoken with, under Trump, did the same even though full disclosure is perfectly justified. Obviously, the CIA and the FBI, as institutions, are protecting themselves from the implication of their role in it. This points to many other disturbing trends that come from American intelligence, such that they control elections and are accountable to something besides the American voter. They are audacious in abusing power, almost daring anybody to challenge them.   They consider themselves more important than the presidents we elect or the members of congress we put in place to keep things running in the government. They are, in all essence, a shadow government, and they take orders from something besides the American people. And if you are doing a cause and corrective action on the many ways and whys, there is corruption in our government, everything inconveniently points in one direction and one direction only. That there are likely more than 19 different species of alien life, not domestic to birth on earth, that the governments of the world interact with, and the veil is hidden behind the mechanisms of intelligence agencies, and that is why they are not accountable to us but to them. 

Part of the scam is to convince everyone that such a suggestion is outlandish and crazy. And before what we caught the American intelligence agencies doing during the Trump administration, then up to and during Covid-19, the election fraud that took place in 2020 and continued into 2022, I would have been very skeptical of the evidence that aliens were running everything behind the scenes outlandish. But it has bothered me since Robert Temple wrote his really interesting book, The Sirius Mystery, in 1998, and for 15 years, intelligence agencies around the world worked really hard to destroy him for writing that book. As I did my own investigations, I ran into Michael Salla’s book Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs & Extraterrestrial Alliances, which I read from in the included video. There is too much there to repeat here; I would recommend the video for the details. But in essence, this notion that our governments are not reporting to their voters but several species of alien races is not new. Many have been complaining about it for years. As the world has become smaller and everyone now has their own portable television studio with their cell phones, the rate of communication has increased to the point where a cause and corrective action as to why is obvious. We are being treated as a flock of animals by an unworthy aristocracy, a kind of new age religious priest class who put themselves between the people of earth and all these groups of alien species for the classic reasons of control. They want to take what they learn from these groups of visitors, who have been coming to earth for millions and millions of years and use that relationship for their quests for power over minds they consider weaker and easy to dominate. 

There are too many things to consider, such as the location of the Eye of Africa and the specific knowledge that the tribe of the Dogon people from that particular region has about the planets from the Sirius A, B, and C region of the sky, one of the brightest stars we see at night and the central character in so many of the world’s religions. The same tricks that were used to conceal these truths of alien visitations from the public in mass were used to a failed effect with the Covid crises created by the government for the purposes of global government control. The suppression of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine at the beginning of the global economic lockdowns to prevent a cure of the Covid crisis was the same kind of arrogance that was witnessed in Roswell, New Mexico, upon the crash there and how the military reacted to it, harassing witnesses and trying to paint them as kooks to the public. I have visited the various sites in Roswell to see everything for myself. I was alarmed to visit the excellent museum there to see their vast library of UFO sightings and details of alien encounters. There is just too much to have them all explained away in coincidence. Governments this time in the modern age were caught in lies, lies about election fraud, lies about a virus they created so to control the world for all the dumb reasons that kings and nobles of history have tried to control their people by being the conduits that spoke to the gods, which is what kept them in power. 

One of the biggest giveaways to this plot, wrapped around the world, is the Antarctica problem. No country claims it, and the evidence points out that the big continent was not always at the south pole. Instead, it was at a time in a climate where dense vegetation existed, and likely, people lived there. There is a history that needs to be studied under their ice caps. If you peel back the layers of concern from the climate crazies, the real fear is that the ice from Antarctica might melt, as it has many times in the past without man-made climate change, and we might learn the truth of our real human history. But currently, which was obviously a goal of the Vril Society of Germans who fled there to continue their space program, it looks like it’s been an easy place for interplanetary travel to come and go without air traffic and governments to report the happenings. Hey, I just saw a UFO over my house.

Actually, my daughter did and recorded it for me. They are careful not to get caught, but they happen everywhere, and people see them. But they aren’t talking to us; they are talking to those who have interceded on our behalf in the class power model that violates the Constitution of the United States. But the goals of the World Economic Forum and the desire for a one-world government come from those same people who have been talking to these 19 different species all along. And for them, they envision a kind of Star Trek Federation kind of world. But many of us don’t want that. We want sovereignty, and just because aliens are coming and going all the time, sometimes at war with each other, sometimes helping us, sometimes trying to hurt us, and our various governments are sticking themselves between them and us, one thing hasn’t changed, and that is that America is the best country on the planet and those ideas are the future of the human race. And no government, not a domestic one, or some alien one, has a right to violate our constitution. And there is no security that American intelligence has a right to use that violates our constitutional rights for our own safety. Nothing is more significant in America than protecting the voters’ constitutional rights. There are no shadow governments allowed. No CIA mind manipulation allowed. And if the 14-foot winged aliens called Draconians think they have some rights over us, they have another thing coming. And it’s at that point that we have to look at all the evidence and consider what to do with it. It’s not technology that makes a society great or even its history. Its philosophy and I would argue that the American Constitution is one of the greatest works of philosophy anywhere in the galaxy. And if the aliens really had it together, they wouldn’t be coming to earth and talking to a bunch of loser intelligence agencies, who are some of the dumbest people on the planet. There wouldn’t be so much secrecy to undermine us so audaciously. And that is the real truth they are hiding, not to protect us from them, but to protect them from us all so they can have the illusion of power they never had before or deserved.

‘The College Scam’ by Charlie Kirk: Rethinking the education designed by the Liberal World Order

I would highly recommend the great book by Charlie Kirk, The College Scam. It’s a great book, a timely book, and one that shows clearly where the world is headed. So if you want to make adjustments ahead of that change, reading Charlie’s book will undoubtedly help you. Like all things regarding the Liberal World Order, which is what Democrats and even Republicans are calling their multi-century attempt to establish a New World Order as defined by the goals of Freemasonry going all the way back to Egyptian society, predating the Greeks by thousands of years. It’s been a long road for them, and we have all found ourselves tangled in their web, and we are seeing the collapse of that order in modern politics. Most notably, the election of President Trump and the continued attempts to keep him out of any public office because of the threat to that Liberal World Order that people like him present. But it’s too late. It’s been too late for many decades now. As Charlie Kirk lays out the case in his book, college has always been a scam. Its never been suitable for American society built on capitalism and has seriously harmed intellectually the people who have gone through their liberal arts instruction of life sciences, physical sciences, logic, philosophy, history, social science, and creative arts, the seven teachings that the Renaissance world thought would make a complete human being. I have always said that these seven topics aren’t nearly enough to make a complete human being. And the problem with this kind of instruction is that the quality of the people doing the teaching was always a problem. People of low quality obviously weren’t going to teach people of high quality to be better. A bad teacher often penalizes good students into mediocrity for the rest of their lives.

I’ve been to college and lived on the University of Cincinnati campus for quite a while, and I hated every minute of it. I, of course, made the most of it, but I learned firsthand how to hate the college experience. I used to have lunch every morning on the campus with my stacks of books, eating an omelet made just for me. I was not like the other 20-somethings in those early college days. I had already experienced a lot of life before ever getting to college, traveled extensively, and lived the life of essentially a 40-year-old before I ever attended one college class. So it was frustrating for me because college was not made for people like me who had lived very colorful lives and wanted to know more than the limits of the seven liberal arts. I would eat my breakfast and get through my college homework as quickly as possible so that I could get on to my favorite reading material, my many Joseph Campbell books. It didn’t take me long to realize that college was slowing me down tremendously, and I wanted to go so much faster than the college institution was built to provide. Like many things in life, college was built with good intentions but essentially became a pathway to hell paved with those good intentions. I could see that it was crippling people. The classrooms were boring, stupid, and severely lacking by lazy teachers who were not the philosopher kings of Plato’s Republic. And in their off time, the students were wasting away with a party lifestyle that was turning good kids into monsters, committing acts that would embarrass them for the rest of their lives. 

When it came time to send my own kids to college, I was violently against it. Many family members were upset with me for my decisions, but it didn’t matter. I saw college as a liberal meat grinder that served only one purpose: to get an interview because too many corporations had done as they would later do with Covid, and that’s to set a standard for job placement. They would only talk to college graduates for most professional positions. But reality said that was a dumb practice because apprenticeship looked to be a better way to develop an organization’s talent. But complying with the liberal world order was what corporations were committed to due to the requirements of the various trade guilds around the world. So they didn’t do what was best for themselves; they did what the Liberal World Order told them. And what they ended up with were students taught by college institutions that weren’t very smart, overly compliant, and too submissive to the circumstances around them. And they had lost themselves during the college experience to their personal authority. Campus life for most turned out to be embarrassing looking back, and it compromised their moral authority as adults. So there wasn’t much good to come out of college graduates and the things they learned. 

I refer to the Freemasonry movement because that is how the concept of college and the liberal arts was implanted into our current culture, and it was a mistake. They didn’t do it on purpose. As I said, they had good intentions but lacked philosophy on the motives of the human race and how to instruct the human mind. College was created around the limits of what was known to science during the Renaissance, but as we know now, education should not be limited to what is given at public schools and colleges during very limited hours of instruction during a certain period of a child’s life. It has turned out not to be a good thing to wrestle away a kid from their parents at age 5. And sending an 18-year-old away to college to allow liberal education to essentially destroy the child of their upbringing has been devastating. It doesn’t happen to all kids. I know plenty of kids who survived the experience just fine. They had good parents, and they turned out to be fine adults. But I also have watched many kids come out of college as entirely different people and were ruined for life. What was destroyed in them was not worth the ability to get a job interview a few steps up the ladders of life. It would have been better for many kids not to ever go to college. They would have turned out better in life had they not been sucked into the liberal education system that was designed for them by Freemasons, globalists, and political hacks around the world, too in love with wine and art museums instead of the essence of all life and productivity, the art of ambition and imagination that come from life experience, not training by incompetent fools masking themselves as authority figures. It was a hopeless experiment from the start, destined to fail.

I always thought that, but it was confirmed for me when I went myself. And I would never impose such a thing on any of my kids; it would only doom them to a lackluster life. So I found Charlie’s book refreshing; it’s about time that we have an honest conversation about the massive failure of the college culture and what they teach kids and how. Like Covid, College and the corporate endorsement of it has been for the benefit of their political Liberal World Order and not the development of individual intellect for the proper life well lived. But compliance to that Liberal World Order and submission to the needs of the masses in all the destructive ways that history has made so many mistakes. And The College Scam is all about acknowledging that failure for a better future by admitting the obvious, which is so difficult for many because it’s all they’ve known all their lives. But that never made it the right thing.

The Failure of Globalism: Their version of Mechagodzilla as they lose control of the monster they created

I think the best way to understand what is going on in the world in the year of 2022 is by the ending of the movie Godzilla vs. Kong, which came out in 2021. Everyone, I would assume, knows who King Kong and Godzilla are. If not, they are giant monsters fighting in cities and turning them into rubble. At the end of Godzilla vs. Kong, the bad guys in the movie had built Mechagodzilla, a giant mechanical robot, to defeat the monsters. It was controlled by a central pilot who acted as the creature’s brain. Well, during the big end fight, the actual brain of Mechagodzilla took over, killing the pilot and the bad guys lost control of the giant robot. The technological marvel spun out of control and became a menace to everyone. It took Godzilla and King Kong to join forces to beat Mechagodzilla and, thus, to save the world from complete destruction. It was a pretty good movie; I loved it. My kids and grandkids loved it as well, and it remains one of our favorite watches. But its also the best way to explain Russia, China, and the massive failures of the Administrative State that are being run by the Desecrators of Davos, behind the goals of the United Nations. They had their big NATO league of nations, Mechagodzilla of progressivism, that was supposed to bring the world together under their power, but they lost control of the thing. They have created a battle between globalism and nationalism that they didn’t know would occur. And it’s kind of funny to watch. 

Now there is nothing funny about the poor people of Taiwan who expect China to attack them at any moment. Nothing is entertaining about the poor people of Ukraine who are suffering between one bad government and another. But keeping in mind the big picture, most of the world’s problems are caused by out-of-control big central governments. That is why in the United States, we say that “freedom” is our highest priority. We want freedom from bad government, and we generally have it. Even with our terrible government that we have under Joe Biden and a dysfunctional congress, a sold-out senate to every foreign power that there is, the intentions of the monied aristocracy, Americans are still generally free of the burdens of bad government. They still watch their sports. They go to the movies. Go out to eat. They typically ignore their bad government because they have freedom from it. But the rest of the world isn’t so lucky. When their government goes bad, they directly suffer, forcing them to leave their homes, break up their families, and lose children to sex trafficking. There is nothing funny about bad government and its impact on innocent people. But after all the schemes and mechanisms of the Administrative State over the decades and all their clandestine activities as they rose to power in the world, it is good to see it all falling apart. I have been warning about them for so many years. And now they have announced themselves, and everything that we thought bad that would happen because of them and to them is unraveling as we speak. What we are seeing happening in the world is the massive failure of globalism as a concept as all their plans go up in flames. 

The best example of this failure can be seen in Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates actually. They are two representatives of the Desecrators of Davos mindset who used Covid-19 for all kinds of malicious intentions. Millions of people died because of them, and trillions of dollars of lost economic value that is lost forever because of just those two people, which is a dire warning about the Administrative State in general. When you only have a few bureaucrats and money managers running everything, a mistake on their part can cost millions of lives, as Covid did. The debate about Gates and Fauci’s intentions is just getting started. Did they do everything on purpose, or were they just greedy, power-hungry, or stupid will evolve as more evidence comes out. But what we know now is that they knew hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were suitable for treating Covid, and they worked to suppress that information. They purposely pushed global populations to seek a vaccine treatment that they developed with Big Pharma, and they were caught doing all kinds of terrible things that ruined so many lives. That was their Mechagodzilla that they lost control of. Murder is still murder. Even if that may not have been the original intent, it was the ultimate result. And because of that failure, the administrative state that wants to rule the world through globalism tactics have compounded their problems with ten more problems to solve the original issue. 

Suppose Covid was unleashed from a lab in China to stop Donald Trump in the 2020 election, which the evidence indeed points in that direction. In that case, all these cascaded problems that have spawned into the debacle of Ukraine presently are the total result of trying to keep a lid on the matter, so people don’t see the obvious. The Desecrators of Davos run by Klaus Schwab and the gang at the World Economic Forum have been saying that populism is the biggest weakness to their plans and if anybody saw the rally in Russia in support for Putin recently, its quite clear that there isn’t anything the “global community” is going to be able to do to stop Russia from doing whatever it wants or China for that matter. The NATO strategy of high school politics, of saying, “we won’t talk to you at your locker unless you go out with Mary Jane,” isn’t working. Russia doesn’t care if the United Nations likes them. China doesn’t care either. They have turned to nationalism, and that was never the plan. When we talk about election fraud in America, it’s not hard to figure out who was behind it. The globalists wanted the Desecrators of Davos to unleash their Mechagodzilla of economic sanctions upon the world and control everyone with fear.   But what they saw in the states is that people still love Trump and would prefer him right now over Biden, which nobody in the Beltway understands. And Putin and Xi have seen this and are pushing populist revolts of their own. 

All this is a collapse of globalism in front of our faces. All the United Nations 2030 stuff is still a threat, but people are now aware of it, where they weren’t a few years ago. When people thought globalism would be the wave of the future, they held their noses and adapted, which is how so many CEOs allowed themselves to get pulled into all the woke politics. But now, the world is changing, and it’s changing forever. Ukraine was a creation of the United Nations. When they can’t stop Putin from attacking it and taking it over then back into the Russian fold, the world will see that the United Nations was always a toothless tiger, and the Desecrators of Davos, a bunch of crazed lunatics corrupted by the religion of climate science that is as crazy of a cult as the Jim Jones society in Jonestown. People are not going to drink the poison. Especially now that they see the carnage left behind. And to the way I see things, that’s a good thing to have to happen. People were already suffering under the failures of an Administrative State, such as what we saw over Covid, which is worse than 10,000 Ukraine invasions. But now, people are aware of what’s been happening, and they are picking nationalism over globalism for the first time in the modern age, which clearly was not the plan from the outset.

Godzilla For President: A review of the new Gareth Edwards masterpiece

What would you get if Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, and Akira Kurosawa all made a movie—it would be Gareth Edwards new Godzilla film.  That is not to say for a second that Edwards is a copy-cat filmmaker paying homage to his boyhood heroes.  The 2014 Godzilla film released by Legendary Pictures is simply that good, and is sincere in its tip of the hat to those great filmmakers.  While watching I kept thinking of films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Birds, Ran, Dreams without attempting for a second to show its superiority to the classic Godzilla movies—but rather being very respectful of them.  If there is a tight rope of movie marketing, authenticity to a beloved character, and the necessity to navigate the needs of the movie industry, Gareth Edwards just propelled himself into one of the top filmmakers in the world forever by walking it cleanly.  The new Godzilla film is simply astonishing.  I have read the reviews and spoken to several people who had seen the movie and I have come to realize that the movie is so vast in its scale that most viewers can only grip one of the many plot lines of the film.  Being spoiled spoon fed movie goers for so many years; they have forgotten the old Hitchcock films and likely didn’t bother with Kurosawa due to the subtitles.  Well, Edwards didn’t have that problem and has simply made a masterpiece that will have a major impact on film history.   I know good when I see it and this Godzilla film is great, incredible, astonishingly beautiful, captivating in virtually every way, and is simply a benchmark film redefining the genre of monster movies.  This Godzilla movie is what Cloverfield wanted to be.  It is simply jaw-dropping grand.  It will take several viewings for everything to settle in and history will study this movie as a masterpiece of modern film.

While waiting in line to see the movie I wrote yesterday’s article about Godzilla.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  So I am already a fan of the 60-year-old monster.  I had to take a few hours after watching the movie to calm down and check my emotions to ensure that I wasn’t just being inflammatory with my enthusiasm.  After rolling around in bed for about 10 hours unable to sleep still excited about this Godzilla film I have concluded that perhaps I haven’t been excited enough.  Four key scenes will explain why without giving away the movie.  The first is the birthday metaphor so carefully weaved into the Bryan Cranston portion of the story.  It was remarkably powerful, and so subtle that most viewers appear to have missed it upon their first viewing.  It was a touch of Steven Spielberg that I haven’t seen from a filmmaker since the film Always.  Then there was the flaming train engine coming out of an intense fog at night across a railroad bridge.  The film quality looked as though it belonged on the pages of National Geographic.  The cinematic effort of that shot was simply mind-blowing.  Then there was the airport scene where the power had gone out across an Hawaiian city then came back on to reveal a giant monster destroying everything—with the main characters rushing toward the devastation.  There has been nothing like that done in movie since Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  It was over-the-top exciting, but never so much that it came out campy.  Godzilla pays tribute to these beloved old films without insulting them with direct mimicry.   Then there is the airdrop into the city of San Francisco during the monster fight.  The only filmmaker who ever attempted portions of these kinds of visuals is Akira Kurosawa.  The colors, the atmospheric conditions, the ceremonial aspect of the scene, the immensity of the whole enterprise culminated in that portion of the movie and was simply magnificent.  Edwards was well aware of his geography during the entire film.  The film went from extreme long shots of a storm over the city with the tiny troops falling toward their apparent doom with swirling cumulus nimbus clouds reaching into the upper atmosphere.  Then there are the hand-held shots as they fall through the cloud layer and into the destruction of the city while Godzilla is fighting with the monsters.  All these were cut together with the same level of continuity and it was seamless.  The long view of existence right along with the human perspective was astonishing.  I can’t say it has ever been done more effectively than what Edwards did in this movie.  There was a scene from Close Encounters years ago where the shadow of the mother ship was cast against the ground at night over the unaware human drivers of a truck.  That shot was incredibly difficult to pull off and came from the mind of a very young Steven Spielberg before he got old and stuffy.  I can’t recall another filmmaker trying such a thing since then—until this Godzilla movie.  It is hard to do such atmospheric scenes and Spielberg has given up on trying now that he is in his “mature” years.  But the ambition of Edwards deserves recognition as film schools will study this scene for years attempting to break down its effectiveness.

Speaking of geography it was impressive to tie in events happening halfway around the globe in simultaneous bits of story.  For instance, Las Vegas gets attacked by a monster as Godzilla is hunting the beast from the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Hawaii.  The extra attention to little details like proximity of terrain to each other in a world shrunk by Google Earth was so refreshing that even smart people seeing the movie will be impressed that Edwards thought of them while staging scenes.  The characters in this Godzilla film were intelligent, and cared about the circumstances around them.  That was refreshing.

Then there was the soundtrack which was equally remarkable.  I had never knowingly heard any of Alexandre Desplat’s work until this film, but it was quite powerful.  Desplat certainly tapped into great film scores by John Williams, particularly Jaws because it was evident in the film score.  The resemblance to that classic piece was unmistakable.  I have listened to the soundtracks of Jurassic Park and The Lost World countless times, and the notes and cues from Godzilla are right in line with those pieces.  It was yet another circumstance of welcomed surprise in a film full of them.  There was a raw majestic energy included with the music that was as big as Godzilla and the story line itself.

The character of Godzilla unlike the past had a deep intelligence to him, a knowing alertness to the circumstances of civilization and his desire to advance it.  That is a new element to these kinds of monster films, Godzilla was quite well aware of his ancient role as a kind of protector of man’s achievements.  He wasn’t interested in the mindless toppling of buildings and power lines, but of hunting down and destroying the monsters which were destroying the cities of earth.  There has been a lot of talk about Godzilla being a boon to nature—reminding mankind that it is not in charge.  Yet if Godzilla were so interested in nature, he would have allowed the giant creatures—MUTOs (Massive Unidentified terrestrial Organisms) to breed and hatch their babies which are all they really wanted to do.  From the vantage point of Godzilla mankind’s creations are pretty insignificant, yet he consciously made a decision to pick mankind over the MUTO creatures.  Several times in Godzilla’s efforts were close-ups on his weary face as if he had been fighting this battle for several millennia.  Edwards smartly captured this intelligence and made this Godzilla much less primal, and much more sophisticated.  As strange as it sounds the creature seemed so smart that I wouldn’t have been shocked if he didn’t sit down with some tea and discuss James Joyce as a literary endeavor.  He was what I described in my referred article written prior to seeing the film as a kind of overman.

Godzilla is movie making at its absolute best.  There isn’t anything better out now and hasn’t been in many years.  Even the epic nature of Peter Jackson’s Hobbit films can’t hold a candle to Godzilla.  This monster film is a benchmark for these types of things that will set the bar very high.  Many reviewers continue to compare Godzilla 2014 to Pacific Rim, but the two aren’t even close.   The only thing they have in common is that both films deal with large creatures.  Godzilla is about so much more.  It’s a movie that needs to be seen many times to understand, and even more times for just the sheer entertainment value of it.  The cost of seeing the movie is worth the climax of the film itself.  They simply don’t get better than that and will still be fun after the 100th viewing.  Godzilla 2014 will become the next favorite film of many little boys desperately seeking something meaningful in their young lives.  But for the adults who grew up with the old versions, this Edwards film is a sheer work of art that will be difficult for any filmmaker to surpass for many, many years.  It is a treasure onto itself and a gift to every creature with eyes, ears and an imagination.  I give Godzilla an enthusiastic thumb up with both hands and both big toes and a smile from ear to ear.  It is movie making at its absolute best and then some and will never be forgotten in my household likely being played continuously forever once it hits Blue Ray.  In the meantime, I will go see it again.
